[Academic Writing] Direct quotation
Hi there. i just joined here.
I'm really wondering at the moment about citation location.
I show the example below.
* Author - Sengupta et al. (2013) Page 36
Sense of Community is a core component of social capital, and can be defined as “the sense that one was part of a readily supportive network of relationships upon which one could depend” (Saranson, 1974, p. 1)
* Explanation & Question
I want to make a direct quotation with above passage. But, there are two authors. Saranson is the author of the primary research and Senqupta is the author who cited the Saranson's research for his article.
In this case, how should I cite the above sentence?
Below is what I did.
Sengupta (2013) claims, “Sense of Community is a core component of social capital, and can be defined as “the sense that one was part of a readily supportive network of relationships upon which one could depend” (Saranson, 1974, p. 1).”(P 36)
I really look for your advices.
Thanks
